BillionGraves

You walk through the old cemetery, the headstones weathered and illegible. The names of your ancestors are lost to time. But with a single tap of your smartphone camera, you can unlock the history hidden in plain sight. This is the power of BillionGraves, the world’s largest GPS-linked database of cemetery records.

Core Functionality

BillionGraves transforms your smartphone into a portable historical archive and field research tool. The app is built around two primary modes: capture and search.

• Capture Mode: Point your camera at a headstone. The app automatically captures the GPS coordinates and associates them with your photograph. You can then transcribe the text directly on the image, tagging names, dates, and epitaphs. The app supports batch processing, allowing you to photograph dozens of stones in a single session.
• Search Mode: Enter a name, date range, or location. The app instantly queries the global database, returning results with exact GPS coordinates, a photo of the headstone, and the transcribed text. Results are displayed on an interactive map, showing you the precise plot location.
• Offline Sync: Capture photos and transcriptions while disconnected from mobile data. The app queues your work and automatically uploads it when a Wi-Fi or stable cellular connection is re-established.

Key Advantages

• GPS-Pinpoint Accuracy: Every record is tied to a geographic coordinate, not just a cemetery name. You can walk directly to the exact plot.
• Community-Sourced Corrections: If a transcription is incorrect, you can submit an edit. The app tracks version history, ensuring data integrity.
• Multi-Language Support: Transcribe in over 40 languages. The interface supports English, Spanish, French, German, and many more.
• Batch Editing Tools: For large projects, use the desktop-style interface to apply common date or name corrections to multiple records at once.
